I spent last week helping out my brother build an addition to his house. It was a nice break from software. The addition looks a lot like a house now with the roof finished and windows having been installed.
In other matters, the impending winter caused some changes to my modes of transport. The 3-series coupé has been put into storage for winter and the 5-series has been taken out of storage. Driving will be more comfort than fun until spring.
